Chris Hardy

Piazza Marina

I took your picture
several times
standing before
the fountain veiled
by fern-like
dropping threads
of water.
I tried again,
you by the harbour
and the church,
St Mary of the Chain,
framed by steps,
columns,
water, walls
and boats
shivering on the sea.
My father took
a picture of me
where slaves had once
been sold.
The film came back
but only trees
and the auction block
remained.
We fly like birds
from frame to frame,
I tried to catch you
so you would
abide like
water, walls
islands, trees
and chains.

Piazza Marina

Te-am fotografiat
de mai multe ori
in fata
fantanii invaluite
ca niste ferigi
de suvoaie de apa
cazatoare.
Te-am fotografiat din nou
langa biserica
Sfanta Maria a Lantului,
incadrată de pietre,
coloane,
apa, ziduri
si barci
tremurand pe apa.
Tata
imi facuse o poza
unde sclavii erau odata
vanduti.
Am developat filmul
insa numai copacii
si platforma de vandut sclavi
apareau in poza.
Zburam ca pasarile
din cadru in cadru,
am incercat sa te imortalizez
ca sa rezisti precum
apa, zidurile
insulele, copacii
si lanturile.
